Love Island aired a dramatic cliffhanger tonight (January 31) as Curtis Pritchard was forced to decide between Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Danielle Sellers in a recoupling.

During tonight's recoupling, in which the boys chose which girls they would like to couple up with, Curtis said he was "going with his gut" and the episode ended before airing his decision.

Last night Danielle chose to steal Curtis from Ekin-Su, seemingly ending the once solid relationship, but fans will have to wait until Sunday to find out who Curtis chose to recouple with.

"I've had one girl that's come in and she's chosen me and we've had some great conversations," he said at the firepit. "On the other hand, I've got another girl who I've been getting to know since the start of this experience.

"This decision has been confusing for me. I didn't expect to be in this situation, but I am going to go with my heart and with my gut. It's a weird one because I've had one person say she never wants to speak to me ever again.

"And another girl who has just thrown herself into it how people should do in this experience so it's been a tricky one. The person I am going to couple up with is…"

Fans online were quick to share their frustration at the cliffhanger, with one viewer sharing to X: "Love island leaving us on cliff hangers on Friday nights when it has random episodes which are longer mid week?! Make it make sense."

"Ummm love island ???? Ummmm why have you just ended WITH THAT?!?!?!?" penned another.

Elsewhere in the recoupling, new bombshell Omar picked Catherine and Ronnie chose to couple up with his ex-girlfriend Harriett.

Meanwhile, the show began with the fallout from the previous night's recoupling and in a chat with Curtis, Ekin-Su said: "I wish you all the best with Danielle…I feel like everything you said was a lie…"

After a heated argument, Ekin-Su threw her drink in Curtis' direction and stormed off, but will that have put Curtis off choosing her in the recoupling?

Love Island airs on ITV2 and streams on ITVX.
